Finisher accessory for Lexmark scanners — model 20L8809, black, quantity 1

The Lexmark 500-Sheet Staple Finisher 2025 is an add-on finishing unit designed to attach to compatible Lexmark printers and scanners to provide stapling and organised output stacking. It accommodates up to 500 sheets in its output bin and supports the same media sizes, weights and types as the host device, enabling consistent finishing for a variety of document formats.

Advantages

The finisher offers single- and dual-position stapling on both long and short edges, plus multi-position stapling for flexible binding options. Built-in sensors detect the presence and status of the staple cartridge (including low or empty conditions) and monitor the output bin level, helping to reduce interruptions and maintain smooth operation.

Suitable for

• Offices and departments that require stapled, collated documents
• Print shops or reprographic centres producing short-run booklets and multi-page handouts
• Workflows needing consistent finishing for A4, A3, Letter and other common paper sizes

When it may not be suitable

This finisher is intended for environments that use standard office media and requires stapling of up to 50 sheets; it may not be appropriate for specialised binding methods or for stapling thicker stacks beyond the stated capacity. It is also designed to work with compatible Lexmark devices, so it will not function as a standalone unit or with unsupported printer brands.

Key specifications

• Output tray capacity: up to 500 sheets
• Stapling capacity: up to 50 sheets
• Stapling positions: single, dual and multi-position; staples on long and short edges
• Supported media sizes: A4, A3, B5, B4, Executive, Letter, Folio, Officio, Legal and 27.94 x 43.18 cm (11 x 17)
• Recommended media weight: 60–105 gsm
• Finish colour: black

How to use

Install the finisher on a compatible Lexmark device following the manufacturer’s installation instructions. Load output media into the host printer as usual; the finisher will staple and stack output according to the selected job settings. Monitor the staple cartridge and output bin status via the finisher’s sensors and the host device interface to replace staples or clear the bin when indicated.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify compatibility with your Lexmark printer or scanner model
• Confirm that your typical print jobs do not exceed the 50-sheet stapling capacity
• Ensure your workflow requires supported media sizes and the output capacity of up to 500 sheets

Usage recommendations

Use the finisher for medium- to high-volume office workflows where regular stapling and organised stacking improve handling efficiency; schedule staple cartridge checks and empty the output bin before peak jobs to avoid interruptions.
